Question

How do we inherit our traits from our parents ?

Answer 1

Reluctantly

Answer 2

Genetics.  You get half your DNA from your mother's chromosomes and the other half from your father.  Every sperm and every egg has a different DNA structure.  The s*x cells reproduce but split one extra time to have half the regular amount of chromosomes.  When the two met and formed you, they combined and gave half of the characteristics of both your parents.

Some characteristics are more complicated than just your mother had blue eyes and your father had green.  There are dominant and codominant gene issues that can get complicated when determining certain characteristics of yours.

Answer 3

At birth from a combined mixture of our parents' dna codes.

Answer 4

Physical traits from genes. Behavior traits from being around them for years.....

Answer 5

Genetics. Heredity.

Well, lets not forget, you have 46 chromosomes in your blood. 23, inherited from each parent.

An egg and a sperm cell is required for reproduction, both are from your parents. Each thing has MASSIVE amounts of DNA, (these things are SOOOO accurate, the determine the ANGLE at which your hair grows!!) Again from your parents.

There are MANY MORE things which determine your characteristic. But you need to be in a hall to know them. he he.
